The mission of Musik i Syd is to promote a rich, active and varied music life in Skåne and Kronoberg. As music producer and arranger, Musik i Syd plays a coordinating role and makes a strong contribution to the stimulation and development of music life for both children and adults. Musik i Syd also works as a partner in – and often the initiator of – a number of projects and festivals all over Kronoberg, Skåne and the Oresund Region. In addition to public concerts and projects, Musik i Syd arranges many concerts at daycares, schools, hospitals and residential care homes. In 2014, Musik i Syd arranged more than 3000 concerts in close collaboration with local arrangers. Musik i Syd leads and develops a number of qualified music projects as well as national and international collaborations. Musik i Syd even employs two ensembles full time – chamber orchestra Musica Vitae and Ensemble Mare Balticum. The concert hall in Kristianstad (Kulturkvarteret Kristianstad) and the Palladium in Malmö – a stage for music and modern dance – are run by Musik i Syd. Both of these venues produce several hundred concerts a year.
